The arrest of a US army veteran who protested against the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown has raised alarms among legal experts and fellow veterans familiar with his service in Afghanistan.
Bajun Mavalwalla II – a former army sergeant who survived a roadside bomb blast on a special operations mission in Afghanistan – was charged in July with “conspiracy to impede or injure officers” after joining a demonstration against federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) in Spokane, Washington.
Legal experts say the case marks an escalation in the administration’s attacks on first amendment rights. Afghanistan war veterans who know him say the case against Mavalwalla appears unjust.
Yeah, that is a direct attack on the first amendment and a show of force to the rest of the population not to get in their way.
Republicans are responsible for this horrible economy, the constitution being burned and ignored, and our country losing all democracy.
I will be sure to remind them at every opportunity what they did to us.
Don’t forget every single person who voted republican in 24!
Or who stayed home.
Seriously, those that chose not to vote outnumbered the red voters immensely. I feel more anger towards those that chose apathy and lethargy over those that have been conditioned to fear and stupidity.
Voter turnout in the states that mattered most was high.
Trump still won, probably because they hacked the election.
I know several of them and when i talk about this shit going on, they care even less. These people just refuse to vote and the more you try to convince them, the more they don’t want to. Really infuriating.
